The defending champion Lakers actually fell in the division semifinals, and it was swept 4-0 in such a humiliating way, most people did not expect it at all.

This season has been a chaotic one, with the rise of the Wizards, the composition of the Heat Big Three, and the Knicks Big Three all having a huge impact on the Lakers' road to defending their title, and many people think that Kobe Bryant's second triple championship may be far away.

But the vast majority of people are more inclined to believe that the Lakers and Kobe Bryant will fall in the Finals, losing to the former No. 23 and his two brothers.

No one would have imagined that the Lakers would lose to the Mavericks.

The Lakers' path to dynasty collapsed, and the situation in the West immediately became confusing.

The Mavericks beat the Lakers 4-0 to advance to the Western Conference finals, while the other group of opponents in the division finals are the San Antonio Spurs and the Portland Trail Blazers.

This season, due to Roy's injury, the Trail Blazers only relied on Durant and Aldridge to lead the team, and their record was affected to a certain extent, and finally entered the playoffs with the fourth place in the West, but with Durant's excellent performance, the team still survived the first round and reached the division semifinals.

On the other hand, their opponent is the No. 1 Spurs in the Western Conference regular season, who should have been eliminated by the Black Eight in another time and space.

The butterfly effect is so magical, due to the appearance of Wang Xiao and the selection of Durant in the 07 draft, it directly changed the situation in the West, without Durant's Thunder and sinking in the sand, and the Trail Blazers, who should have collapsed because of Roy's injury, became a powerhouse in the West.

Originally, the Memphis Grizzlies were supposed to be in eighth place in the West in the regular season this year, but now the eighth place in the West is occupied by the Thunder.

This is the first time in years that the Thunder missed out on Durant to enter the playoffs.

In the past few years, Oden continued to be injured and stopped, Westbrook was unable to support himself despite his excellent performance, and was intercepted by Wang Xiao last year Harden, so he had no choice but to choose Evans, but the record still did not improve, until this season Wang Xiao's disciple Dunn was selected, only to rely on Dunn's strong frame protection and blocking ability, which can stand out from the strong West.

Such a Thunder team against the Spurs naturally had no resistance and was eliminated from the game, and the Spurs escaped from being black-eight by the Grizzlies.

In the second round, the Spurs naturally had the upper hand against Durant's Trail Blazers, and the current score between the two sides is 3:1, and the Spurs have the match point in hand.

In this way, there is a chance that the West Showdown will be a bull and horse war.

And the finals on the Eastern side will basically be a matchup between the Wizards and the Heat, which is also far from the war between the Big Three that people expected before.

also holding a 3:1 advantage, Wang Xiao wanted to directly eliminate the Celtics 4:1 in one go, but he failed to do so.

Although 3:1 behind, the Celtics did not give up, and even had a sense of a Jedi counterattack, the fifth game between the two sides was extremely intense, and in the end the Celtics relied on Ray. Allen's quasi-three-point reversal won the game and dragged the score to 3:2.

But that's the limit.

In Game 6, the Wizards didn't give the Celtics another chance.

Curry, who had been suppressed for five games, finally bottomed out, shooting all sorts of unreasonable fairy three-pointers in this game, no matter how many people defended, no matter what way they defended, they couldn't stop Curry's shooting.

He scored 26 points in the first quarter, 33 points in the half, and 47 points in the game!

Curry ended the Celtics' hopes of a comeback in an almost open-ended way, and also fixed the score at 4:2.

The Wizards are officially close to the Eastern Conference finals! The opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals was the Heat, who eliminated the Bulls with a big score of 4:1.

Wizards vs Heat.

Such a duel made many commentators hesitate.

According to the tendency of the vast majority of people, the Wizards of the Heat should have the advantage, and the Big Three combination of James Wade Bosh should also be invincible in the East.

But the fact that the Wizards were swept in the regular season was something that no one could ignore.

The Heat's loss to that team in the regular season can be forgiven, and even being swept by other teams in the regular season can be explained by the reason that they retain their strength in the regular season.

But the regular season battle with the Wizards simply can't be covered up with such an excuse.

Wang Xiao's ridicule of the Heat team is too heart-wrenching.

"The Big Three? I haven't heard of it, I've only heard of the Celtic Big Three. ”

"Beat the Heat? Isn't that something to be taken for granted? What's the difference between winning this team and eating and drinking? ”

"I don't want to hear any questions about the Heat anymore, but whoever has to talk about every meal is going to get tired of it over time."

Under Wang Xiao's provocation, the Heat team tried their best and did not win a victory from the Wizards, it can almost be said that they have lost face, how can there be any possibility of releasing water to retain their strength?

What's more, the Wizards at this stage can already be called the Big Three killers, sweeping the Knicks Big Three in the first round, and ending the Celtics Big Three in six games in the second round.

……

Regardless of the outside media's comments, reaching the Eastern Conference finals for the second year in a row has made Wizards fans not know how to describe their feelings.

Regardless of whether the team can defeat the Heat in the Eastern Conference finals and reach the Finals, it is enough for Wizards fans to be satisfied.

The Wizards' roster is so young, so young that it's hard to imagine what a horrible situation these players will be like when they grow up.

Curry, Harden, and Paul, who suddenly came out of nowhere in a series with the Celtics, defeated All-Star small forward Pierce in the matchup. George......

What fans are curious about now is how long it will take for such a Wizards team to lift the O'Brien Cup, and many believe that this day will not be too long, and even this year is very likely, as long as they can beat the Heat Big Three and reach the Finals.

……

The Eastern Conference Finals begin on May 17.

The Washington Wizards will host the Miami Heat.

"The Heat are old rivals."

In the Wizards' locker room, Wang Xiao was mobilizing the players before the game.

However, this time, he did not put too much pressure on the players, but looked very relaxed.

"It's just a bunch of losers, and we can beat them in the regular season, and we can do it in the playoffs." Wang Xiao looked at Curry and said with a smile: "During the East Finals last year, you have not been able to play because of injuries, I can see that you are still haunted by it, today is the best time for you to vent, teach those guys a good lesson." ”
